Peter Faulding said Lancashire constabulary should have kept other lines of inquiry open for longer.

She doesn’t generally go near the river on that walk.” there is no concrete evidence to it at all.” Gibbons added: “But then you look at the area, and you can see why it is the police’s working hypothesis. And the fact that nothing’s been seen or heard, I just truly believe that it’s something in the village,” he said. That, that is what I want to happen.” I want it all scrutinised, every piece of it.

Spencer and his team live locally to St Michael's-on-Wyre and will provide their services for free, walking and driving through the village and visiting any notable "hot spots". The village is under enough stress as it is, with the situation and poor Nicola, with what has happened to her, whatever has happened to her," he said. It's causing a lot of stress and alarm for the residents." "There was young kids down on the river last night about half past 10. She said that, if some people were aware of the "social media detectives", it would be worse as it would "scare them even more". Laura said the anti-social behaviour has involved people "appearing in people's gardens and land". she said: "You don't understand it and you can't reason with it, but people are going to come and they're going to want to see the bench or the river walk, but coming under the cover of darkness and effectively causing criminal damage and making an absolute nuisance of themselves. Spencer said his team had observed many of the visitors to the area entering an old house which overlooks the River Wyre near where Nicola Bulley went missing. The issue has become so serious Laura decided to contact a private security firm to help manage the situation. Laura Lord, an admin of a local Facebook page where Nicola Bulley went missing, said visitors were "making an absolute nuisance of themselves".

The latest updates in the search for Nicola Bulley who went missing on January 27 after taking her dog for a walk near the river in St Michael's on Wyre.

Speaking to Channel 5's Dan Walker, Nicola's partner Paul Ansell said: "For me and this is my personal opinion, I am 100% she is not in the river. Ms Bulley vanished while walking her springer spaniel dog Willow alongside the River Wyre in St Michael’s on Wyre on January 27. Nicola was walking Willow on a footpath near the River Wyre in St Michael's, Lancashire, at the time she went missing. Willow had been found, 'bone dry', running between the bench and a gate to a nearby field despite the working theory that Nicola fell into the river. The most obvious thing, of course has always been the river. “There is also a huge amount of commentary from so-called experts and conspiracy theories which are damaging to the investigation and, worst of all, to Nicola’s family. On Friday, Lancashire Police appeared to call out social media sleuths for their “hurtful abuse of innocent people” in relation to the case. The 45-year-old went missing more than two weeks ago while walking her dog Willow, a springer spaniel, beside the river in St Michael’s on Wyre, Lancashire. Paul explained that he and Nicola had been walking the path she disappeared from since they met 12 years ago.

Police are said to have spoken to someone who could be a key witness after he saw two men close to where the mum went missing weeks ago.

Officers from the North West Police Underwater and Marine support unit searched the area close to where Ms Bulley’s mobile phone was found, while police divers scoured the River Wyre. Her father told the newspaper: ‘We just dread to think we will never see her again, if the worst came to the worst and she was never found, how will we deal with that for the rest of our lives.’ Lancashire Constabulary spoke with a second witness who they had identified with the help of the public using CCTV but they told police they did not have any further information to aid their inquiry. Ms Bulley’s parents, Ernest and Dot Bulley, spoke to The Mirror about the ‘horror’ they faced over the possibility of never seeing her again. Her family released a statement saying they had been ‘overwhelmed by the support’ in their community, and that her daughters were ‘desperate to have their mummy back home safe’. Local residents held a meeting at the village hall to organise a search for Ms Bulley at 10.30am on Sunday, according to reports from The Mirror, and around 100 people joined the search. It was seen close to Nicola’s walking route on the morning she disappeared, parked in a lane near the school where she dropped her two daughters before walking her dog by the river. At 10.50am, Ms Bulley’s family and the school attended by her children were told about her disappearance. ‘But he said he wanted to make sure they were chasing this up so I asked the officers about it and they said they were following it up.’ Allegedly the same person told police he saw one of the men close to Ms Bulley’s usual route on the morning she vanished. As the search for Ms Bulley enters the 17th day, a witness is believed to have come forward after seeing the two men outside of a nearby church. Police are said to have taken further CCTV footage from a garage close to the spot the mum-of-two was last seen in St Michael’s on Wyre, Lancashire.
